Since you don’t necessarily know the emails of the senders, creating a filter on the customized To address works much better. If you don’t have a separate business email address, you could give out an email like to all your clients and then have those emails automatically filtered to a label created for your business emails. You might be wondering why this is necessary if you could just create a filter on the sender email address and organize email that way? That method works just fine, but like the financial example I gave above, what if you wanted to give out your email address to some clients of a small business you are running from home? If you want to keep your account name consistent without all of the dots or plus signs, then you can just use instead.
Obviously, if someone else already knows these tricks, they can easily figure out your original email address.
The Googlemail Hackįinally, you can change the last part of your email account to instead of the normal ! It’s another nifty way to not give out your main email address. In that case, use the Dot hack or the Googlemail hack I’m about to mention. The plus hack is very useful, but the downside is that online forms sometimes block it because it’s not considered a normal symbol in email addresses. There are many times when the sending email address used by a financial institution changes and therefore you have to update your filter. Since your customized Gmail address will never change, you never will need to worry about updating the filter. This is much easier than creating a separate filter for each financial institution. Now I can create a filter and have all emails related to my financial activities automatically moved to an appropriate label.
Simply place a “ +” after your account name and add a word or words to uniquely identify that email address.įor example, I can change my email address to when signing up at any bank, credit union, investment site, etc. This Gmail hack has been around for a LONG time and most people already know about it. This trick usually works the best when signing up on forums or anywhere online because most forms will accept periods as an allowable symbol of a typical email address.
So for example, I could write out my email address as of the normal can add as many dots as you like in any location and the email will still come to you. If you didn’t already know, Gmail does not consider any extra dots in your account name when processing email.
